I was wondering why a bell was ringing. Of course! I'd read some books of hers when I was much younger. I wish I could remember which ones i read, but I remember liking what I read. Was there a book with a character named Ortu? Strange, one wakes up with a start to realise that time's passing, people're passing, and we'll pass sometime. And writing has changed MUCH since her day. A look at the gallery makes that clear! :) And all this time I had been thinking that she was a man. Does anything ever last? Not opinions.. :) I wonder if this will inspire a philosophical Spring Haiku?
